About the African Crimson-winged Finch
The crimson-winged finch (Rhodopechys sanguineus) is a pale-coloured thick-set finch with a heavy, dull yellowish bill. It is the only species placed in the genus Rhodopechys. It is found at high altitudes in the mountains of northwest Africa, and from Turkey to northeast Pakistan. It has sometimes been split into two species, the African crimson-winged finch and the Asian crimson-winged finch.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 39 recordings for this species: 31 CC BY-NC-SA · 8 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
